Narrative Poetry Part II

Bryant Conference Center

Instructor: Bob Lipman - This course will initially offer a review of the important aspects presented in Narrative Poetry Part 1, for those who were not present for the eight sessions of Part 1 during the spring of 2016. Narrative works by Longfellow, Poe, Holmes (Oliver Wendell), Shaw (John) and Service (Robert William) are examples of poets we will explore. Attention will be given to poetic fables as a narrative art form. The beauty of certain music lyrics is an excellent source for enjoying narrative poetry. I will continue to offer my collection of narrative poems that I have created. We will also be certain to explore the biographies of all authors, as well as the significant poetic elements, such as rhythmical & rhyming patterns, similes, metaphors, alliteration, consonance, onomatopoeia, repetition, anaphora and more, that help make narrative poetry a wonderful part of the arts.
